I think that's what I said last time I posted on my blog. LOL Well I haven't had too much to report as my Osteoporosis has been a pain - literally! I still enjoy my crafts though, knitting, sewing and making a few cards. I find making cards a strain on my back so that's why I've only made a few in the last year. <br />
My favourite knitting is dishcloths as I don't have to concentrate so much! Recently I've returned to sewing as I find that's the most comfortable thing for me to do.<br />
I seem to be unable to upload some photos to show you some of my knitting so I'll change them and try again. <br />
Bye for now<br />

Suddenly its 6 months since I last posted here. Lyla Mae is now 2years old and we also now have an 8mth old grandson who has the cheekiest smile. My Osteoporosis is still playing up but I'm learning how to live with it and with each new fracture I'm able to gain more control with the pain as I know how to move/or not move etc. while the fracture starts to repair itself. <br />
Craft wise I'm still knitting and have nearly finished a top I'm making for myself. I've made very few cards, and at the moment I'm unable to design any more card sheets as my computer has stopped working so I'm using DH most of the time until I'm able to get my computer repaired. Hope these last 6months have been kind to you all.<br />
bye for now <br />

The trouble is I'm not sure which way the blog is going to go. There are several reasons for me saying this and hopefully I'll make sense while explaining. <br />
First as you already know I've had back trouble which makes it very uncomfortable to sit and make card. I tend to lean over the table when I'm making them.<br />
Second because of the above I have taken up knitting again and have also done a little crochet, but I prefer knitting. But boy after trying to get things done for christmas this year I've made the decision to start making things for Christmas next year in January! lol <br />
I have at last managed to find out why my back is so bad and unfortunately I have <br />
Osteoporosis and Osteo Arthritis in my spine. The Osteoporosis is quite bad and has altered my lifestyle considerably this year. I wish there was a support group near me, but sadly there isn't.<br />
Hope you are all ready for Christmas and when I get I chance I 'll post some photos of the things I've been making.<br />

As you can imagine I haven't had too much time for designing sheets for card making etc! but I have taken up knitting again. I have also started Slimming World as I need to lose a few stones for health reasons, mainly my bad back. I also want to be able to play with our grandaughters without being in pain afterwards! lol I'll keep you post with my weightloss achievements and of course knitting I complete.<br />

I have been busy this week preparing my crafts in readiness. I'll photograph it when its all set up so that you can see what I've been up to these last few weeks! <br />
<br />
I also wanted to show you a wonderful painting that my daughter recieved from a friend for her new house. Jess has painted this using mixed media and I'm sure you'll agree it's a stunning painting. The colours and design are perfect for my daughters living room where she has it hanging above her sofa. <br />

Her cat found it all a bit strange but is now happy to go out and about. For the cats new home present I made her a kitty lay and play mat! The free pattern can be found <a href="http://hooked-on-crochet.blogspot.com/2006/09/first-original-pattern-kitty-lay-and.html">here</a>. It's a lovely quick project so if you fancy getting your crochet hooks out try it. Here's a couple of photos for you to see it.<br />

Tomorrow it's a grand nephews 1st birthday, he is such a happy smiling boy. Here's the card I've made him, please excuse the photography, unfortunately I fell over on friday when I popped to my local post office and am unable to bend easily as I'm all bruised and caught my back! Oh well I 'll just have to be more careful and watch where I'm going! lol<br />

I celebrated my Birthday a couple of weeks ago and had a wonderful day. I was very spoilt at lunch time while I was at my lovely daughter in laws. Her Mum ( now a dear friend of mine) made a wonderful birthday cake. As you can it was very popular with my lovely grandaughter! lol and we both got in a lovely mess eating our cake! lol<br />

The card stock I've had for years! so I'm not sure where I bought it! lol The striped paper is from a pack which is I think from Docrafts but not certain. I used the SU punch for the envelope and label and Xcut christmas tree punch. I added the envelope to a strip of gun metal colour metallic card stock and added 2 silver peeloff christmas trees.<br />
To make the tag top I used a photo corner punch and cut the corner to the first punch line, hope that makes sense! lol <br />

I hope this comes in handy for all your Christmas cards. As you can see I've included 2 of each design. The boot is for a quick card with just the 'fur' to layer which would look nice with glitter on. The frame has 2 extra layers to give more dimension.<br />

I hope to post another freebie this weekend, so until then.<br />
